Vector Portrait

Vector Portrait

Pre-Production:

I used a photograph of my lovely bunny, Gunter. It was difficult finding a flattering picture of him, since he's rather camera shy. However, once I found one that I liked and was clear enough, I imported the image, then posterizing the image in photoshop. Gunter was a fun subject, since he's very cute and always seems to have some sort of expression in his body language.

Production:

It was difficult to work with the pen tool in illustrator, just due to layer errors or the vector lines not turning out exactly how I wanted them. However, I did work out all the issues and learned more about how to use the pen tool. I moved the layers into different body parts and tried to work better with layering the different colors and pieces. I did try to use repetition in the colors, but contrasted the mostly monotone colors of Gunter with the blue background.

Post-Production/Final Product:

Overall, I do like how this image turned out. That might be biased coming from me, since I find Gunter to be very adorable and pleasing to the eye. If I redid it, I would add more detail and colors, as well as change the background color. However, Gunter looks great as always, and I'm happy with how it turned out.
